When the unchurched bunch choose to spend their Sundays doing something more valuable they are also not sending their own children to church for their weekly indoctrination session.  When kids grow up without […]

Very interesting and welcome to the site.

Pierre,
To what do you attribute the decline?

Vicki

Either/or? Can we all just vote for prosecution?

It seems very little to ask for.  Why would the magical powers, cross worshipping, doily dressing shamans be exempt from the rule of law that the r […]

Truss quit?!
Now what?

Worried from across the pond.

Jeeze. My comments are going to moderation and even disappearing into the ether these days.

So far we’ve all been incredibly passive about it, far too passive in my view, but surely, surely, something has to give event […]
